I remember telling my wife about two weeks ago that this stay-at-home order would lead to a spike in conception especially for those yet to conceive after years of marriage. Just this morning, I heard a testimony being shared of a woman who has been married for ten years and believing God for conception has taken in this March. This has spurred me to share some information through this short piece on 7 ways the stay at home can create the environment for conception to take place.
It has created a situation where busy couples are now forced to relax their schedules and be together at home. While this may be viewed negatively depending on who is concerned, this is an opportunity for couples believing God for conception to get to know each other more romantically and intimately. No matter how busy you want to be, consciously refuse to allow work-from-home assignments take you away from your spouse at this time.
1. It will give couples, especially, the women the ample opportunity to understand their physiology. Studies have found out that one cause of delayed conception is that some women lack understanding of their ovulation circle. This ovulation is the peak of every woman’s sexual awareness and the best time for fertilization to take place after copulation. Due to distance or busyness, many young couples have tended to miss the window period that ovulation creates as most times, it last for just two days for some women.
2. Consciously decide to avoid worries no matter what is happening around you as couples. Worries have been proven to inhibit the bonding that should occur when a couple comes together sexually and this contributes to conception as it may affect the man’s performance as well as the woman’s reception.
3. Go for another honeymoon that is if you even went for one after your marriage, if not, convert your house to wherever you wished you would have loved to spend your honeymoon. Get to discover yourselves again. Spend time to talk and recover and relive memories that brought you together as couples.
4. Avoid little traps that could quench completely any flame of love and desire between you. These little traps could be anger, malice, disgruntlement, pride, discontentment, selfishness etc which should not be allowed to grow in any marriage relationship because they contribute to block the spiritual and physical bonding that could lead to conception.
5. Consciously, decide to forgive each other, as my holy book says, do not sleep on your anger or whatever negative feeling you have, seek peace by all means and consciously decide to accept the peace overture of any party. Holding on your hurt or anger will further create a distance that will not lead to an environment for conception.
6. Decide to learn in the bedroom. Make yourselves available for knowledge in the area of satisfying each other sexually. Couple must strive to bring each other to the peak of the sexual experience so as not to create a void of unfulfilment in one’s partner. This affects the women mostly, as the man is often wired to get tired once he ejaculates while the woman may just be getting ready for climax. The man must take it as a duty to satisfy the woman by bringing her to climax whether he is done or not. That is when they have both had a fulfilling time which could psychologically create the climate for to conception.
7. Grow spiritually as you cannot remove God from the business of conception. Couples should endeavour to have a family altar; the man has the responsibility to bring it up while the woman should support him. The devotion time-table should have responsibility for both couple. Create time to study and discuss the bible with the intent to be better doers of God’s words and pray without ceasing, especially praying in the Holy Spirit. Your season of rejoicing is certain.
NB: Some points here may be useful to those who have children already. However, the use of family planning methods does not hinder satisfying one’s spouse and it is encouraged.
